Extreme Veteran  6066    Montreal, QC |  Subject: All geared up and ready to goHi again everyone, I just thought I'd make a quick post here to let everyone know that I've been geared up and am now ready to get training! I have signed up for my first tri, to be a sprint for charity north of Toronto mid-July. I've got myself a bike, and have started running. I went on a 36 km bike last weekend with a triathlete friend, and now am looking for local riding/training buddies! If anyone in Montreal has a good place to ride, or wants to ride together, let me know! I'm almost always available to go out for a good session! Hope to train with you guys soon! Pete |

Expert 640  Montreal | Subject: RE: All geared up and ready to go Hey Peter, Welcome to BT. I'm in the West end of the island. ( Beaconsfield) Where are you located? I try to plan rides with other buddies of mine but with everything happening around the house it is very last minute hit and miss and therefore I tend to ride alone, alot. If you are local we can try the hit and miss. Soloryder |

Extreme Veteran 6066 Montreal, QC | Subject: RE: All geared up and ready to go Well, I live downtown, but I work out on the West Island. It would be easy for me to do evening rides during the week. Weekends wouldn't really be a problem, either, for me, as my bike fits easily into my car. I don't even know where there are appropriate bike lanes or anything like that, so any help would be great! I was actually looking at the Beaconsfield Cycling club, and was going to join... until I realized that they wouldn't let me join, because apparently they think that aerobars are deathtraps. Oh well, what can ya do! Where abouts do you normally ride? I imagine that out on the West Island, there are more bike paths than around the downtown area... I'll send this to you in a PM, as well. |

Extreme Veteran 5722 | Subject: RE: All geared up and ready to go there is a website called meetup.com and there is a group of cyclists that go out every so often. Never been with them but it looks cool. I called Beaconsfield as well and asked if I had to remove the aerobars even if I never drop into them. They said yes, I would have to remove them. |

Extreme Veteran 6066 Montreal, QC | Subject: RE: All geared up and ready to go Thanks! I had no idea about that website! I'll take a look. As for the aeros... I would totally consider doing it, but I don't have a set of normal bull horns, only my full aero bars, so I guess I'm SOL for that. Maybe some day... |

Extreme Veteran 6066 Montreal, QC | Subject: RE: All geared up and ready to go Thanks for the info! I was thinking of taking a look at the circuit, but I'm sorta new to the idea, and I don't know what the deal with it is. How does it work? Is it free? Just show up and ride or what? Also, (i'm sure I can find this info elsewhere, but here goes nothing) how do you get there? I actually have no idea where it is, to be honest.... |

You just need to show up and ride. 100% free unless you park there and then ride. You can get there by both the Jacques-Cartier and De la Concorde bridges. Have fun! |
